Core i7 920 Corei7 920 Gigabyte Ga-Ex58-UD5 Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 MSI GTS 250 1GB MSI GTS 250 1GB I am not sure about which power supply and what RAM to get. Any suggestions?

poopmonkey Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Are you ever planning to put in another gpu and SLI the two or even three? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/168722-core-i7-build-questions/#findComment-1167140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiousone Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 It is a strong possiblity, I do a lot of 3d rendering, any recommendations on the specs I posted?

poopmonkey Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Well I would definitely get about 6gb on ram on the board. Meaning three sticks of 2GB each. Or you can just start off with like two 4GB sticks and then just continue to fill the slots till you get to 24GB and not worry about replacing those 2GBs once you run out of space. 3D rendering consumes loads of ram. This is probably way out of budget but for 3D rendering I heard the Nvidia Quadro Series is professional for that...

curiousone Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 I had thought about the Nvidia Quadro but it is a bit to expensive for me right now. I was thinking about going with the 6gb of ram but I am not sure about what brand. Any suggestions? Also could I run two MSI GTS 250 1GB in a SLi configuration on Leopard?
